Ingredients
Scale
Dairy and Protein:
- 1 ½ cups milk
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 2 tablespoons butter
Sweeteners:
- ¾ cup sugar
Dry Ingredients and Flavoring:
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or ¼ cup brown rice flour for gluten-free option)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Combine flour and sugar in a compact saucepan, ensuring thorough blending of dry components.
- Gradually introduce milk while positioning the pan over medium heat, stirring consistently to create a uniform liquid without lumps.
- Continue heating and whisking the mixture, monitoring its transformation as bubbles emerge and consistency gradually thickens, approximately 3-4 minutes.
- Incorporate peanut butter into the heated mixture, stirring vigorously until completely integrated and smooth.
- Remove pan from heat source and introduce vanilla extract, creating an aromatic flavor profile.
- Add butter to the warm syrup, whisking energetically until fully emulsified and achieving a glossy, rich texture.
- Transfer the decadent, warm syrup immediately over freshly prepared waffles or pancakes, allowing the luxurious sauce to cascade and enhance the breakfast delicacy.
Notes
- Gluten-free option available by substituting regular flour with brown rice flour for those with dietary restrictions.
- Consistent whisking prevents lumps and ensures a smooth, creamy syrup texture throughout cooking.
- Cooking on medium heat allows gradual thickening without burning the ingredients, taking approximately 3 minutes.
- Melting peanut butter directly into the warm sauce creates a rich, homogeneous flavor profile.
- Adding vanilla extract and butter at the end enhances the overall sweetness and creates a luxurious, silky finish.
- Best served immediately over hot waffles or pancakes to maintain optimal warmth and consistency.
